Yes more about my diet. On this diet you get one day off from everything and one meal off. What I’m discovering is I tend to go to extremes when it’s the day off or meal off. I know you need to shake up the calories every now and then to not plateau but there is this feeling of, I can’t have this for another week so over indulging happens. This is the same thing I think that causes most diets to fail. You reach your goal but have been deprived and go over board the other way and soon it’s a habit. Until the feeling of being deprived is controlled I don’t think any eating plan can succeed. It’s a mental thing that must be worked on every day. Food is a necessary thing for life but over indulging in it, can actually shorten your life. Weird little irony.

On a good note I am exercising every day, I sleep a whole lot better and definitely have more energy, my mood seems better too but I can’t really be the judge of that. I’m on target for weight loss wish it could be faster but this way is better.

Here are some books I’ve picked up for the over indulging issue, they are affiliate links so if you click and buy I can make 77 cents 🙂
